We run your marketing, every month.
Operate is our monthly marketing retainer. Your site, launch or rebuild has shipped, and now somebody has to keep the marketing going: the campaigns, the content, the reporting, the vendors. That's us, on a calendar, with one senior person accountable for what happens next. Month to month, no long contract.
What the marketing retainer covers, every month.
The same people who built the site run the month.
Search and answer-engine program (SEO and AEO)
Ongoing optimization after launch: what to publish, what to fix, what the engines cite.
Content marketing
Content that ships on a schedule, tied to the campaigns on the calendar.
Email marketing
Recurring email programs, sent on a calendar and reported on.
Paid media
Paid search and ads, managed monthly against pipeline rather than clicks.
Marketing automation
Flows and nurture built once and kept working.
Demand generation
The monthly plan for creating pipeline: campaigns, launches, and the sales assets a new quarter needs.
Partnership and collaboration marketing
Co-marketing with partners, run on a calendar.
Website enhancements and new pages
New pages and improvements as the business changes, so the site stays current rather than being rebuilt every three years.
Website hosting, maintenance and security
Fast, secure and current. Billed as its own line.
Reporting and attribution
Pipeline and reporting your CRO trusts, with attribution that survives a board question.
Marketing operations
The CRM, forms and workflows kept clean and working. We work in HubSpot, Salesforce, Klaviyo, Kinsta and WordPress, and we tell you when something in your stack is the problem.
Ecommerce management
Running the online store: catalog, promotions and performance.
Vendor and agency oversight
One brief for every agency and vendor you already pay.
Most clients get here after a build with us. You don't have to. If marketing is happening at your company and nobody senior is running it, this is the place to start.
Position
Decide what you are and who you're for.
Build
Ship the site, the launch or the rebuild.
Operate
Run the marketing, every month.
Embedded
Own the whole function.
“Rus's insights are spot-on, and they consistently provide meaningful advice.”Sameer Bhatia, CEO, ProProfs. A client since 2023.
Hosting and maintenance, billed as its own line
Keeping a site fast, secure and current is real work. We bill it separately from the marketing retainer, so you can always see what you paid for marketing and what you paid to keep the site running.
“A 30% quarterly increase in qualified traffic with a direct impact on sales.”Mike Barker, Chief Revenue Officer, Mimeo
“You guys are the reason we no longer have a cash flow problem.”Andrew Heiberger, PGA, CEO and Director of Instruction, Flagstick Golf Performance
At some point you need someone to own the whole function.
The plan, the budget, the team and the number. That's Embedded, and it's a separate decision. Read about Embedded
Tell us what's getting stuck.
What's shipping, what isn't, and what you'd want run every month. We'll tell you inside a business day whether we're the right fit and where we'd start.
We answer inside a business day.And if a month of marketing is more than you need, there is a smaller door: a standing weekly hour, advisory only. Advisory
